Match Preview
Leicester City vs Arsenal: match preview and predicted lineup
Arsenal will square off with Leicester City at the King Power stadium in the Premier League’s early kick off.

Arsenal will face Leicester City in a big test to their unbeaten run. The Gunners managed a comfortable 3-1 win over Aston Villa and managed to sail past Leeds in the Carabao cup on Tuesday.
A tricky Leicester side pose a hurdle for Mikel Arteta’s side that hasn’t lost a game since a 5-0 loss to Manchester City in August.
The two sides are separated by goal difference with the Foxes having a slightly better goal difference. Both sides are on a decent run of form after enduring difficult starts to the campaign.
Leicester have recently had the upper when the two side have met in the league however, the Gunners won this same fixture 3-1 last term.
Team news
Ben White (illness), Kieran Tierney (ankle), Pablo Mari (illness) and Martin Odegaard are all doubts for the Leicester clash. Granit Xhaka (knee) ruled out.
“He’s progressing training. Let’s see how he is today. He felt a bit better last few days but he wasn’t 100% to start the other day. We’ll see how he is in the last 48 hours.” Arteta said in a press conference about Tierney’s injury.
Ben White fell to the floor early in the second half against Leeds and had to be substituted, Arteta confirmed that the centre-back’s issue wasn’t injury related but down to a bug within the squad.
